How can the people in the story be separated from the people outside the story? A set of a story, technique content, first-class movie.
I think the translation of the name Dengtangjian is too good, there is nothing more suitable than this. Everyone is a voyeur of someone else's family, envious of a happy family and eager to join or even replace it. The film puts this idea into action, first dormant in secret, fully understanding the core of the family, waiting for an opportunity, the desire in the heart seeps out little by little and flows into this seemingly happy family.
Having said that, I would like to talk about this ordinary family. The adjective practice at the beginning was very interesting. Behind the admirable words we saw at the beginning, the envious family is generally happy and happy, there is a backlog of contradictions. The teachers and couples that we envy are only at the end of the day to find out the unequal and unpleasantness of the two sides. It is also mentioned in the movie that men are addicted to work (and, in hindsight, take a happy family for granted), while women need to pay attention (they are sensitive, but have always compromised for their husbands.
There is also the emotional line in the play, the teenager's obsession with other people's mothers, his homosexuality towards his friends, and his ambiguity towards his teacher. With his image, it does not violate harmony at all. (His eyes are really charming! The acting is top-notch, and the young man with a story!) The whole film is strung together by the completion of this literary work, with several reversals, and the shooting method is also very special. Together, the eyes shine.
What the teacher said at the beginning to teach us how to write and how to create literary characters with self-awareness is also what this film does. The people in the show are people in the book. When we thought that the teacher was the modifier of the story, an outsider with a certain amount of power, he actually gradually infiltrated the story and lost his work and family unknowingly. When we thought that the young man was the master of this story, the misfortune of the young man's own family was interspersed, and the original motivation of his series of actions could also be counted. At the same time, imagination and observation are also the elements of a good writer that the director believes in.
Finally, I would like to say that it is very interesting to mention about the Chinese imagery. Dragon, Chinese artists, and cheap labor. Is this China in the eyes of Ou Rong or China in the eyes of the West?
